1 John 1
1 It is of what has been in existence from the Beginning, of what we have heard, of what we have seen with our eyes, of what we watched reverently and touched with our hands — it is about the Word who is the Life that we are now writing.
Det som var ifrå upphavet, det som me hev høyrt, det som me hev set med augo våre, det som me skoda, og henderne våre tok på, um livsens ord
2 That Life was made visible, and we have seen it, and now bear our testimony to it, and tell you of that Immortal Life, which was with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios g166)
- og livet vart openberra, og me hev set det og vitnar og forkynner dykk livet, det ævelege, som var hjå Faderen og vart openberra for oss - (aiōnios g166)
3 It is of what we have seen and heard that we now tell you, so that you may have communion with us. And our communion is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
det som me hev set og høyrt, det forkynner me dykk og, so de kann hava samfund med oss. Men vårt samfund er med Faderen og med hans son Jesus Kristus.
4 And we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
Og dette skriv me, so dykkar gleda kann vera fullkomi.
5 These, then, are the Tidings that we have heard from him and now tell you — ‘God is Light, and Darkness has no place at all in him.’
Og dette er den bodskapen me hev høyrt av honom og forkynner dykk, at Gud er ljos, og det finst inkje myrker i honom.
6 If we say that we have communion with him, and yet continue to live in the Darkness, we lie, and are not living the Truth.
Dersom me segjer at me hev samfund med honom, og me ferdast i myrkret, so lyg me og gjer ikkje sanningi.
7 But, if our lives are lived in the Light, as God himself is in the Light, we have communion with one another, and the Blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
Men dersom me ferdast i ljoset, liksom han er i ljoset, so hev me samfund med kvarandre, og Jesu, hans sons, blod reinsar oss frå all synd.
8 If we say that there is no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves, and the Truth has no place in us.
Dersom me segjer at me ikkje hev synd, so dårar me oss sjølve, og sanningi er ikkje i oss.
9 If we confess our sins, God may be trusted, in his righteousness, to forgive us our sins and purify us from all wickedness.
Dersom me sannar synderne våre, so er han trufast og rettferdig, so han forlet oss synderne og reinsar oss frå all urettferd.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we are making God a liar, and his Message has no place in us.
Dersom me segjer at me ikkje hev synda, so gjer me honom til ljugar, og hans ord er ikkje i oss.
